I did it to avoid a Primarch daemon manifesting in our universe. He would not have stopped in pursuit of his goal. [Swallows]

I have damned myself if I refuse to fight for the forces of chaos. But I truly believe that the Imperium and the Emperor will prevail.

[Judge stares a very long time at Yarrick]: You are clearly insane. But very loyal.

*Amelia gets a text off Marla..*

*good luck Amelia.
Il want to also do a checkup on your arm injury when you get back...

Hugs xx

*scribe cannot believe what writing *

...I'll accept that.

[Jury consists of commissars and generals who look entirely impassive apart from one, who looks oddly familiar, and is watching Yarrick]

OOC I fell asleep in the shower >_>

Bic *Amelia has cried self to calmness*

OOC: I don't understand how people can fall asleep like that...
BiC:
*Billy and Black Hawk are still running alongside Jordan*

*Jordan looks mildly impressed but doesn't say anything*

OOC I was tired.

Oh hey my shift starts in 1 minutes...Aaaaand I haven' t left the house.

OOC: Good luck Vanden.

BiC:
Billy: What *puff* are we *huff* searching for?

[Jury leave to decide] [Arbiters cuff Yarrick and take him to a fairly low security holding room]

[Sighs and hangs head]

Ooc goodnight

*Doesn't look at Billy*

We're tracking the crows. If you can't keep up, then go back.

*Increases pace*

*Amelia stands up and walks up to one Arbite*

Amee: Can I see him? Please...I beg you...

OOC Night Jhe!

*Billy is breathing heavily but he and Black Hawk increase pace to match Jordan*

OOC: See ya Jhe.

*The blue-eyed man sits watching carefully*

*Arrives at a gap between the ground 8m wide*

We can't jump this.

*Looks around*

And there isn't a bridge that I can see. Boost me. I might be able to make it.

*Straps on sword and stretches*

I'll see if I can't bring something to help you two over when I get there.

*Black Hawk and Billy kneel down hands cupped*
Black Hawk: Run and jump
Billy: *Whistles* That's quite a drop...

*Nods and takes in a deep breath*

*Runs and plants both feet on their hands*

*Flies through the air and hits the cliff-face*

*Finds a hand-hold after 2 seconds of failed grasping*

I-I'm okay...

*Blood splattered on the part of the cliff where she landed*

*Starts climbing up slowly*

Black Hawk: No you are not. Find something quickly to we may cross and help you

*Reaches the top and looks around*

*Pulls off scabbard and holds it out*

It's not long enough...You'll have to jump it...Here's hoping I can hold you...

*Crawls off cliff as much as possible and holds out the sword*

*Still 5m wide*

Billy: Well, you where always the better long jumper...
Black Hawk: I was wasn't I?

*Black Hawk makes a sprinting jump easily latching onto the scabbard*

*Grunts and holds on*

*Slowly pulls Black Hawk to the cliff*

Y-You take the next one...You're bigger than me...

*Hands him the scabbard and falls back against a tree*

I'll be okay...

[Arbiter nods] [Steps aside]: He's mostly here for his own protection after those revelations.

[Outside the crowd is conflicted, with the majority agreeing with Yarrick, the rest chanting for his execution]

[Yarrick looks up as the door opens] ... I'm sorry, I know you wanted me to deny it all.

*Amelia runs up and hugs Yarrick*

Amee: You're such an idiot! A stupid, selfish idiot! But I love you still...I don't understand why you did that...But just hold me...

*Rests head in Yarricks chest*

Amee: Are they still going to mind-wipe you?

*Black Hawk leans out holding the scabbard. Billy sprints and jumps gripping it tightly as Black Hawk pulls him it*

Black Hawk: Now, how are you injured?

[Jerks back slightly] Mind wipe me? W-what gave you that idea?

[Looks down] Oh gods, I- you've been worrying about that all day, haven't you. [Holds her close] No, that won't happen.

They will.. test me.. to find out if I was telling the truth about loyalty if the jury cannot reach a conclusion.
And it's quite likely I'll have to atone for my mistakes.

[Rocks Amelia gently] It's not in me to lie, and they would've found out and come after everyone. They'd have hurt you.

*Moves hand away from torso webbing*

*Most of the webbing is ripped and there are several small holes in torso*

*Old bite scar is visibleish under all the blood*

It doesn't hurt...Keep going after the crows...

*Amelia allows self to get rocked*

Amee: You idiot...I thought I was going to lose you...

Black Hawk: Here, let me help you *Places hands on Jordan's wounds. His hands glow green and the smell of sarsaparilla fills the air as the wounds heal. He helps Jordan up*
Black Hawk: Let's go. *Begins chasing after the crows again*

OOC: Be back in a hour or so

I'm so sorry, I'd never have let you worry like that if I'd thought...
[Kisses her head]

[Arbiter returns] We would ordinarily let you out for refreshment, but seeing as there's a small riot outside, it looks like we will have to order food in for you. Do you have any preferences?

*quietly sitting on top of the Repressor*

*Looks at wounds*

How'd you...?! *Shakes head* Nevermind, let's just get going...

*Follows after Black Hawk*

*Amelia shakes head*

Amee: Anything will be fine...

*Looks at Yarrick with teary eyes*

Amee: What punishment will you have to go through?

[Considers] The worst they can do is consign me to lead a penal legion- A regiment made from prisoners and traitors. They're used as cannon fodder and line breakers. It would be publicity nightmare, but I imagine something like that.

[Arbiter returns with pizza boxes] We just ordered a mix for you.

*The blue eyed-man in the wide-brimmed walks by Yarrick catching his eye and winking again*

[Slightly confused] [Nods politely]
[Looks at boxes] That's a lot of pizza... [Looks in one] Garlic, pineapple and anchovies. How did they know. [Grins]
